Dang! That's 4:55 PM MT which is before I get off from work. I reckon I'll be working from home that day just to make sure I don't miss the kickoff.

I'm in the same boat. I might just try and leave early myself...Or con work into allowing our big 48" touchscreen tv to play the game! I'm the system admin, I should get to make the rules

4 Hours before game time...it's the standard isn't it?

Yeah but typically they open even earlier for Monday and Thursday night games to accommodate people trying to avoid rush hour.

 

[McD5]

I'm so hungry for football right now that I'm salivating for Thursday night's game. I don't even care who's playing, nor do I have anyone on my FF teams playing Thursday night.

Just bring it on!

The standard needs to change, especially when we play the Chargers!!

I remember living in Hawaii watching the 1pm games at 6 a.m. Suck it up, Nancies! lol.

 

[fansince62]

thanks! I have to go to a bar to watch this one.

 

[Fear The Spear]

Im on the west coast..I have to ask for the day off EARLY now...and everyone knows why I will be asking.

So, now you're going to need 2 days off, since fans usually take off the day after the game

 

[Fear The Spear]

LOVE IT!!! I can watch without having to go to bed after midnight, WOO-HOO!!!!

Unless the game is delayed due to overtime, multiple injuries, multiple play challenges and replays, a power outage in the 3rd quarter, and a naked fan (Elephant) streaking across the field, clothed with only a camera.

My mind's eye is weeping.

They'll still end up opening a little earlier, when the traffic starts to back up. We'll be on Redskins Rd around 12:00pm to "pre-tailgate" you ought to stop by. We'll be milling around the front, near Pez' bright yellow jeep.
